[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher in the county, I find this unacceptable. I teach elementary so I don't know the demands of finals, but if a student is sick with a doctors note, they should be given an extension. Admin and teacher were wrong. Sure, teacher can work from home on Tuesday and may have wanted grades in early. Doesn't mean the school building is empty. Arrangements could have been made with a counselor or front office staff. You just need someone nearby, not to teach the child the material. And it would be one test to grade later. Glad admin has the health of teachers and students in their best interest. What is worse? One kid taking a make up or days of substitutes and sick kids?[/quote]
